From a Missouri farm to Paris and across America, Rose Ann Findlen's life unfolds amid America's struggle with its racism, its misbegotten war in Vietnam, and its inherent violence. As she faces disillusionment and loss, Findlen navigates her way as a professional, a mother and a daughter. Growing up in the 1960s, she is in the first wave of post-war college-educated women to challenge entrenched male entitlement. This memoir, enriched by postcards, photographs and newspaper stories, places her life in the context of those anxious times, will trigger memories for readers of her generation and encourage their children and grandchildren to see their forebears through a new lens.
